How To Survive a Pandemic

Recognizing the importance of “Process Work” as a shared approach to generate our pandemic resilience, the project How To Survive a Pandemic explores how the inclusion of communication devices, creative technology and multimedia art making, can further support and deepen process work during these challenging times, especially in regards to decision making and applying values into practice.What results is a playable interaction that documents and explores the pandemic experience through text, audio and visual narrative approaches, and raises both the makers’ and players self awareness on how choices made contribute or detract from an overall self care practice.
